one of the dangers, of course, i compare it to katrina. its a very different storm. what was so painful is it just didn't leave, so all the roots for all the trees got soaked and the wind pushed the trees over, knocked the power out, created all those problems. is this one moving? >> really, the pain in katrina was that those levees breached so that flood water didn't have anywhere to go. there will be a lot of flooding happening, and it again won't have anywhere to go very quickly. it was moving faster. it slowed down and it's going to slow down here and kind of settle across parts of pennsylvania maybe towards northern virginia over the next 48 hours. that means we'll continue to see impacts, wind, rain, very heavy snow from this. it doesn't go away quickly, but it does begin to subvied. the winds will weaken a bit by tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon. everybody across the area still seeing winds 50 to 60 miles an hour, and that will continue to cause power outages which at this point i'm hearing is over three million so far across this entire region. greta? > >
